Procedure in the case of death of a candidate from the confirmed list of candidates for the election of Members of Parliament


(1) If a candidate from the confirmed candidate list for the election of Members of Parliament passes away on the day of the confirmation of the lists of candidates, the political party, i.e. coalition, which has nominated the candidate can nominate another candidate instead, and if the candidate has been nominated by a group of voters, they can nominate another candidate instead, without collecting signatures in the procedure for nominations prescribed by this Code, in the period up until ten days before Election Day.
(2) The candidate list to which the new candidate has been added in accordance with paragraph (1) of this article shall be published in the manner prescribed by this Code pertinent to the publishing of the single list, not later than 24 hours from the day of the amendment of the candidate list.
(3) If one of the confirmed candidates from the candidate lists passes away in the period shorter than 10 days before the holding of the elections, the deceased candidate who has been elected as Member of Parliament shall be replaced by the first candidate in line who has not been elected, and has been nominated by the political party which has nominated the candidate list, i.e. one of the candidates who have not been elected, and who has been nominated by the coalition leader. The candidate who has passed away and has been elected from an independent list in the electoral district shall be replaced by the first candidate in line who has not been elected from that list.
